Description: | This is an edge trimmed flake with a serrated distal end and right margin. The left dorsal margin may have been prepared for hafting. The ventral face has clear ripples and retouch at the proximal end and is flaked towards its right margin. The dorsal face has a long semi-abrupt flake removed to the right, where the margin is finely serrated. The distal end has a small flake removal and the edge is also serrated. The left margin has been chamfered and thinned as if to create a notch, but makes an effective finger hold to put pressure on the distal point and edge as well as the right lateral margin.The piece is made from translucent brown flint with opaque grey smokey bodies.Mercer 1981 illustrates a similar edge trimmed flakes on Page 143 Fig 63 No L205 and 206, which come from an early Neolithic site.
